The BEST kids' toy store in Houston. Well, for "kids" up to 106. Just go. You will not be disappointed. Need a gift in a hurry? Call ahead, give the budget, give your credit card number and ask for wrapping. You'll look like a genius.

Drinks & Nightlife
Really the Tap Room (closed on Mondays). Great bar and food, too. Sit outside and watch the world go by (they'll bring your dog some water, too), or inside and chat with the fun bartenders. Get the meatball if that's your thing. Yum.
